1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Bone loss resulting from chronic ethanol (EtOH) abuse is frequently accompanied by altered vitamin D3 homeostasis. In the current study, we examined EtOH effects in a female rat model in which control or EtOH-containing diets were infused intragastrically. EtOH treatment reduced plasma 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol (1,25 (OH)2 D3) coincident with a decrease in renal CYP27B1 (25(OH)D3 1alpha-hydroxylase) mRNA and an increase in expression of renal CYP24A1 (1,25 (OH)2 D3- 24-hydroxylase). EtOH induction of CYP24A1 occurred as a result of increased transcription and was also observed in vitro in primary cultures of rat renal proximal tubule cells (RPTCs) and in NRK-52E cells. Synergistic induction of CYP24A1 by EtOH in combination with 1,25 (OH)2 D3 was observed. The major EtOH metabolizing enzymes, alcohol dehydrogenase-1 and CYP2E1, were induced by EtOH in RPTCs. Inhibition of EtOH metabolism by 4-methylpyrazole inhibited the induction of CYP24A1 mRNA. CYP24A1 mRNA induction in RPTCs was also inhibited by the protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide. CYP24A1 was also induced after hydrogen peroxide treatment, and EtOH treatment of RPTCs resulted in production of reactive oxygen species as measured by flow cytometry using the fluorescent probe dichlorofluorescin acetate. In addition, inhibition of MAPK signaling pathways with the MAPK kinase inhibitor U0126 or the p38 inhibitor SB203580 inhibited EtOH induction of CYP24A1. Our data suggest that EtOH reduces circulating 1,25 (OH)2 D3 concentrations as the result of CYP24A1 induction that is mediated via MAPK activation resulting from renal oxidative stress produced by local metabolism of EtOH via CYP2E1 and antidiuretic hormone-1.
